An Unforgettable Romance

T.I. Lowe, the author renowned for her bestseller Under the Magnolias, returns with another soul-stirring novel, Lowcountry Lost. This book, her 20th novel, intertwines a couple’s redemption story with the restoration of a deserted town, resulting in a captivating tale of grief, healing, and enduring love.

The Characters and Their Journey

The novel centers on Avalee Elvis, a general contractor and owner of Lowcountry Lost, a small outfit dedicated to renovating abandoned buildings in South Carolina. Avalee’s life was shattered six years ago, but house flipping became her salvation. Her excitement about the latest project—a dilapidated ghost town—turns to dread when she discovers the structural engineer assigned is her ex-husband, Rowan Murray.

Confronting the Past

Through engaging prose, Lowe explores Avalee’s struggle with her painful past and the nightmares that haunt her. Just as she begins to find joy in her work, her past reemerges. This time, however, she allows Rowan into her life, and together they face their sorrowful history. As they confront their heartbreak, they also reignite the love they once had for each other.

Setting the Stage

The deserted ghost town provides a poignant backdrop for Avalee and Rowan’s story. Established in the 1800s, the once-thriving town fell into decline after a bypassing road isolated it from the mainstream. The restoration of the town mirrors the couple’s journey, offering a perfect setting for their story of renewal and reconnection.

Readers will delight in seeing Avalee and Rowan rekindle their relationship amidst the restoration of the ghost town. With each brick they set and each building they save, their love story unfolds, offering a testament to the power of redemption and restoration, both personal and communal.
